I hope Jones makes the final roster.

Hey! Dwight took MP's arm sleeve! Man, how am I supposed to keep my players properly accessorized on the video games if they keep switching it up?!

Also, looks like Jameer has taken to wearing an undershirt like Dwight. Wonder how many other NBA players wear an undershirt like that?

Wow - a lot of people came out to see the game. Maybe that 10:30 tip off was a good idea after all ...

Some of the younger kids are going to be telling OUR grandkids (on RealGM) how they got out of school to see Dwight Howard play back in the day...

Gortat just flat out imposed his will on the game. He is so much better than Dwight. 12rbs > 8rbs. 3blks > 2blks.

Damn, Dwight is ripped.

Oh darn. Bogans had a good game. And JJ didn't shoot it very well. My dream....shattered.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Seven Magicians with 2 or more assists. An interesting stat in that the high assist man had 3.

Wow, I didn't listen/watch this game but it sounds like Magic sucked but still won by 10.

I was gonna come home and listen to the replay on NBA Audio League pass, but they won't even let me log in!! WTF!! Nba.com is so **** gay.

Boooo @ Bogans playing well. :evil:

Man, looks like Pietrus had a HORRIBLE shooting night but he did well with the 7 boards and 3 steals. Good job, MP.

Lee needs more shots.

Gortat is a monster.

What's with all the accessory changes.. They're confusing me. Dwight with a sleeve? Pietrus with just a band.. COME ON NOW! Why can't they just keep it simple like Lewis.. The blue jerseys are sooo sexxyyy :wink: :cuddle

I can live with Dwight, Lewis, and Hedo doing the scoring night in and night out if Pietrus can give us 7 rebounds, 3 steals and maybe a block or 2 .. We don't need Pietrus to give us 20, it'd be nice, we need his defense..

The Magic played with their second unit all second quarter. No worries to the smelly play in that interval.

Basically the Magic proved in-game that their starters are better than their subs. Well, we knew that already.

Probably one of the worst parts of last season is when Dwight left the game. Gortat won't have the same offensive production of course, but he'll hit the glass and provide a decent guardian of the rim. Maybe we won't blow as many leads that way.
